The guys began the morning at Corbin Seats. All short jokes aside, Mike had a custom seat made. The new motorcycle was just a little tall for Mike. That newly crafted Corbin Seat lowered Mike several inches making his new bike much more comfortable for him to ride. As you can imagine this whole process took a fair amount of time.
Since Mike was making his new motorcycle more comfortable, Stu wanted to make his ride better too. He made use of the downtime at Corbin to test ride a new motorcycle. Hey Stu, is that a Honda Goldwing?

With Mike and Stu amply equipped the guys headed off for the day's adventure straight south. They rode through enormous cattle ranches with rolling hills of pasture. Custom farming operations with row crops followed the ranches. Planted in this fertile area were huge plots of lettuce, strawberries, onions, cabbage and cherries. Numerous anti-government signs had been posted by the farmers over struggles with water. When the farming ended the mountains began to appear. The guys eventually ended up in Sequoia National Park.The boys usually send Mike out to measure the heighth perspective of tall objects. Since this tree was so tall, Stu took over. Well, it appears Stu didn't trade for that Goldwing after all.
That's one big tree!
Ron and Stu, on the hunt for the General Sherman.
Mike, Ron, Stu and Fred are standing at the base of the General Sherman, the largest tree in the world. The general has a circumference of 103 feet, is 275 feet tall and estimated to be over 2,000 years old. Impressive!
Fred searches for the Keebler elves inside a giant Sequoia that was damaged by either fire or lightening. The guys rode a total of 285 miles today, ending the ride in Dunlap, California. Dunlap is located at the north entrance of the Sequoia National Park and at the beginning of Kings Canyon. Tomorrow they will be touring Kings Canyon.
Hope everything goes well the rest of the trip as there are alot of guys back in Florida that are living their lives thru the four of you. All of you are "LUCKY DAWGS"
